State ignores election law with Sullivan ballot listing

The Alaska Supreme Court says that the Division of Elections should determine how Dan “Senator” Sullivan of Petersburg will be listed on the ballot, following established rules, and it cannot keep him off the ballot.

Church sandbags the public

Fairbanksan Josh Church, a right-wing candidate chosen by Republican gubernatorial candidate Dave Bronson as a running mate, is making wild and unsubstantiated claims about “liberals” damaging Bronson/Church campaign signs.

And it’s not just liberal boogeymen in Fairbanks who are the problem. The menacing marauders have been trained by teachers in public schools to disrespect private property, envy people with wealth and lash out at those who don’t agree with them, according to the light guv hopeful.
